New Conventions

HBS hosts some 700 events a year, ranging from research conferences to symposia to student shows. In April, the School broke ground on Klarman Hall. At the heart of this new state-of-the-art convening center is a flexible auditorium that will accommodate gatherings of 200, 500, or 1,000 people, enabling both intimate interactions and broad reach and impact.

The building was made possible by a generous donation from Beth and Seth Klarman (MBA 1982). “When you bring people with talent, vision, and ambition together in a space designed specifically to facilitate connections, conversation, and debate, the potential for transformative ideas and action is limitless,” says Seth Klarman.
